Leaked 2015 Chrysler 200 Photos Scatter Across the Web

The 2015 Chrysler 200 was scheduled to debut at next week’s 2014 Detroit auto show, but a significant number of photos have recently leaked on the web. That said, here are a dozen or so photos revealing a clear view of Chrysler’s upcoming entrant in the midsize sedan segment.Overall, the 2015 200 sheds the boxy and frumpy look of its predecessor, and is sporting a rather attractive and rakish roofline. Designers weren’t shy with the LED lighting elements, which can be found on the lower edge of the headlight housings and the taillights. Chrysler’s badge is centered within the narrow mesh grille. In addition to an incognito metallic gray paint color, the new 200 should also be offered in a striking shade of blue.The interior is dramatically better, too. Photos reveal leather seats with interesting stitch patterns, while the dashboard features an accent piece that surrounds the instrument panel and carries over to the center stack. Below is a rotary-style gear shift knob, which likely connects to an available nine-speed automatic sourced from ZF. A 184-hp 2.4-liter I-4 should serve as the base engine, while a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 making close to 300 hp could be optional. Assuming more details don’t leak before the official reveal next week, that’s all the info we have on the upcoming midsizer, but it should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the next-gen 200.Do you like the look of the 2015 Chrysler 200? Tell us in the comments below.

Sedan looks good! Any word from Chrysler on their plans for a convertible?? Despite all the bad press, Chrysler has done a good job on the 2012-13 models. I have no complaints on mine except for the same issues I have seen with other cars. Oddly, they forgot to remind the passenger to fasten their seat belt. Also the sun visors do a poor job because they are not extendable and are too small, but my Toyota has the same problem. Fit, finish and a solid' 'feel' are way better than the earlier Sebrings.

I look at this and think "where have I seen this before?" This new 200 is so derivative in it's looks that I'd swear I've seen a European car with that exact front end, but I cannot seem to remember which car. I'm thinking a big French saloon or maybe an older Alfa. In any case without improved dynamics some new-ish sheet metal will not be enough to get the 200 off the bottom of it's class.

Anybody reading about all the Fiat, Alfa, Maserati problems in Europe? I hope somebody joins Chrysler, Dodge(if it survives the total takeover), RAM, to take over quality control. The design is great, now if they can get the mechanics and electronics to be reliable, it will be a step in the right direction. How about a turbo 4, with about 325-350 hp and a matching suspension, brakes, etc.?

Looks great but how about quality and reliability? Not exactly Chrysler's claim to fame. If they can improve the quality to go way beyond my current 200 then I'll take a look. Otherwise, I'm off to another brand. I remain very skeptical about this car during its first model year.

I think this is a fantastic design. I'm thoroughly impressed. However, I see a lot of the Ford Fusion on the side, and it looks like Chrysler yanked the Impala's taillights and threw in some LEDs. That's not a bad thing, though. The Fusion and Impala are both fine looking cars. I'll be eager to see whether Chrysler can up its reliability ratings and actually become competitive.

Looks good, but a couple of problems. First, the base engine is about 10-15hp short. Does not sound like much but it would make a difference (the V6 power rating is much better than expected however). Next, the interior, while nice, should be even more upscale, as I don't see how the Avenger replacements interior could be much different. Chrysler needs to start to distance them selves from Dodge in terms of interior design. There is no way the next Avengers interior could be anything less than this one. Good for the Dodge, not so good for the Chrysler.

What about the Avenger? Will they release that at a different time? Figured for the MPG'S they would have used the new 3.2L. Maybe at a later date or they will use the 3.2L in the Avenger. Not a fan but have to hand it to Chrysler first to use a 9 speed.

@damaje199 More like a cross between the Audi A7 and the Ford Fusion. No one copies the Koreans. But the Koreans, the Japanese, and the Americans always copy the Germans in terms of styling and technology, everyone knows that.

This is really nice compared to the current car, which is nothing more than a refresh of the horrendous looking last Gen Sebring sedan. It looks sort of like a Jetta, only better. Interior isn't too bad, but, I think they could have done a little more with it.

The main problem with this design is that it's already outdated. It will be in the same position as the current design well before it hits it's mid-cycle design refresh. Nearly everyone else has been doing this body style for 2-4 years, yet this car will see production for another 12 years. After the initial enchantment wears off, it will once again be an "also ran."

A very nice job inside and out. Looks much more upscale. Some will say it looks like a Fusion from the side, but so do a lot of cars. At least they didn't use that tacky cheap looking silver band around the center stack that the Fusion has. From what I can see from the pictures the interior looks very pleasing. Now I want to sit in one. I see four pillars on the side. does this signal that the convertible is dead?

I was hoping for something a lot better, something that will make it stand out. Why can't any US manufacture pay more attention in designing the interior air vents, that is one of the most important parts in designing a car.

I think they did a good job on the exterior of the car. It creates a grown up look that the current model just does not possess. However, I am not a fan so far (at least by pictures) of the new interior. It just looks cheap to me compared to other great midsized sedans. On the bright side, the current Sebring.. I mean 200 ... is finally put to rest.

This car is going to be a massive homerun. Beautiful interior and exterior.

There are only two parts that Chrysler barely missed IMO. The grille connects to the headlights in such an odd way, that it makes the front look very lazy and weird. And instead of the Penta, they should have used a turbo 4, because transverse FWD V6's shouldn't exist.

They should offer the base 200 with the 184hp Tigershark, the luxury-oriented 200C with the 271hp 3.2 Pentastar for slightly better efficiency and the sporty 200S with the Challenger's 305hp 3.6 Pentastar.

And maybe they could offer a reworked version of Alfa's 2.0 JTDM diesel good for some 180hp, too.

It looks good. Really good. Not even gonna get into the "what did it copy" game. All these mid-sizers are starting to copy from luxury sources as well as amongst themselves that its not even worth mentioning. I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen behind the wheel of one, thats all that really matters.

@srt_charga Chrysler has done some more tweaking again. Rumors I've heard have stated that the V6 now can produce 315 HP. I'm guessing they did some work on the exhaust piping and possible software. But supposedly it produces 315 HP now and that's without Direct Injection which is pretty awesome.

@[The Mit] I have not heard this, but if so, my guess would be this in RWD applications. FWD applications by nature have more room restrictions for things like exhaust and intakes. 295 is a good 9HP increase over the current 200 if I am not mistaken.
